It was BONE COLD for this one. On Thursday, December 5th, NVRRP traveled up to the high rails of the Joint Line near and on the summit at Palmer Lake. We first catch the tail end of a southbound BNSF coal drag at Baptist Road. We then catch a snarling northbound BNSF manifest under a rare wintertime rainbow that circled the sun. Keep it mind that snow was flying about and the temperature hovered around and below 0 degrees. We then catch a southbound about an hour later that starts downgrade, where we catch it in Monument and at the North end of Monument Siding. Our final shot took the cake, as it completed what we set out for, and that was to catch a train emerging through the fog and storming past. In this case, a BNSF Northbound Manifest    pulled out from the fog and out of Monument Siding after meeting the southbound we just saw. This footage was WELL worth waiting outside in freezing cold temperatures, and developing near finger discoloration haha. I hope you do too! Rate. Comment. Subscribe. ENJOY!!!
